Solution Overview

Problem

Existing atomizing devices face issues with oil leakage, which can affect the reliability of electronic elements such as microphone sensors and circuit boards.

Innovation Solution

The atomizing device features a housing with a first installation space for the oil storage structure, an atomizing tube with an oil inlet at the air inlet end, and an atomizing core connected to an oil guide member. This design positions the oil inlet lower than the atomizing core, requiring the oil solution to resist gravity and offset the push force from the oil pressure, thereby reducing the likelihood of oil leakage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the atomizer is disposed at the same position as the electronic elements, then the device structure is simplified, but oil leakage affects the reliability of electronic elements

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedevice structureVSAvoidreliability of electronic elements

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the device into two separate installation spaces: a first installation space for the atomizer and oil storage structure, and a host compartment for electronic elements. This spatial segmentation prevents oil leakage from affecting electronic components while maintaining structural organization.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The atomizer is extracted from the common installation area and placed in a dedicated first installation space separated from the host compartment containing electronic elements. This extraction isolates the oil-containing component from sensitive electronics, preventing contamination while preserving overall device functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Ease of operation

If the oil inlet is positioned at the same level as the atomizing core, then oil flow is facilitated, but oil leakage occurs due to gravity and pressure

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveoil flowVSAvoidanti-oil leakage performance

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The oil inlet is positioned higher than the atomizing core, creating a height difference that generates gravitational resistance. This counteracts the downward push force of oil pressure, preventing oil from leaking while still allowing controlled oil flow through the atomizing core during normal operation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #8Anti-weight (Counterweight)

Solution Approach 2:

The elevated oil inlet position is designed in advance to preemptively counteract the harmful effect of oil leakage. By positioning the oil inlet higher before operation begins, the system creates a built-in gravitational barrier that prevents oil from flowing downward to the atomizing core under normal pressure conditions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #9Preliminary anti-action
